will the SAT Physics test ask me something like "What does the Second Law of Thermodynamics say should happen..."? If so, do I need to memorize all these laws? How can I possibly know them all? Is there a list?
IwillBeGood said:Of course, do you have a practice book ? Working on it alone would also be of help.

crazybandit said:yes, i am, but I am cramming cause my test is in 3 days...
I respectfully disagree. For a real, well-designed physics test this may be the case, but due to the standard format of the SATII and the fairly limited amount of stuff covered and the shallow way in which it's covered it's extremely easy to cram for it.This strategy is unlikely to help.

maze said:40 hours is a lot of time...
Vanadium 50 said:Not in comparison to the time one spent - or should have spent -studying physics for a year.
Look, we have someone who's complaining about memorizing "all those laws" when asked about the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Do you really think a few hours of cramming will make a huge difference?
maze said:Studying 40 hours is equivalent to doing 2 hours a day for 5 days a week, for 4 weeks.
To prepare for the SAT II Physics exam, it is important to review all of the major topics covered in the exam, including mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and modern physics. Practice problems and past exams are also helpful in familiarizing yourself with the format and types of questions on the exam.
The amount of time it takes to study for the SAT II Physics exam will vary for each individual, but it is recommended to start studying at least a few weeks in advance. This will give you enough time to thoroughly review all of the material and practice solving problems.
While having a strong math background can certainly be helpful, it is not a requirement for doing well on the SAT II Physics exam. The exam does not require advanced math skills, but it does involve applying basic math concepts to physics problems. It is important to review and understand the mathematical formulas and equations covered in the exam.
There are many resources available for studying for the SAT II Physics exam, including review books, online practice tests, and study guides. It is important to choose materials from reputable sources and to use a variety of resources to cover all of the exam topics.
The best way to improve your score on the SAT II Physics exam is to practice, practice, practice. Make sure to review all of the major topics and to work on sample problems and past exams. It can also be helpful to identify areas where you may need more review and to seek out additional resources or help from a tutor or teacher.
